Today I tried to start Firefox but, for no apparent reason, I got this message:

After "yum install emacs" & "yum install emacs-ess", I was able to install emacs on my X86_64 running Fedora 10.
If I run one session of emacs everything works fine.
Once I start a second session and try to resize or move the emacs window, the system stops responding.
I'm trying to install Thunderbird on my mom's desktop. She has been using Outlook Express for years, and I want her to get away from that as well as Windows in general (her computer has a true 1.8 GHZ single-core processor and only 512MB of ram). The first thing I did was install Thunderbird on her XP partition, then I copied the .default file to a flash drive and copied it into the folder where I saw that Thunderbird had another .default folder in (although I never created a user for it). I deleted that folder and replaced it with the .default folder from her XP system. I then went to load Thunderbird, and it gave me the error message that is in the title.
I restarted Ubuntu, and it still gave me the same error message. I then deleted Thunderbird from the Synaptic, Software Center, and Terminal. Every time I went to re-install it I got the same message when I tried to open the program. I did find a couple of threads here that had problems with the same error, but it was after they upgraded the software.I found a lot of threads on Google on how to convert from Outlook to Thunderbird, but most of them were 2-3 years old, and the instructions were useless.
Every time I click on the button to close Firefox I get a warning message saying the window is busy and not responding and asking if I want to shut the application.It disappears after about three seconds.
This happens even in safe-mode with one tab open.It's version 3.0.19 on Jaunty.
All of a sudden, none of the menus respond to mouse-clicks, no right-click menu either...Seemed to be ok all day, now all of a sudden?

I recently installed Fedora 12 but Firefox will not launch now so I downloaded from Mozilla and installed the latest version using Vista but it still will not work yet I can download emails and go online using the live cd.

At some point I decided to write an init script to control FreeNX behaviour (start, stop, status, setup), since the Ubuntu version has one (called freenx-server) and openSUSE doesn't, but I noticed that it was not necessary, as FreeNX got started automatically... but how ? I could not find any init.d script or command which would start the FreeNX server. Indeed it wasn't actually running :

After I login to KDE I see an error dialog saying,"ESC is already running, but is not responding. To open a new windows, you must first close the existing ESC process, or restart your system."
What is ESC and what can I do to stop this error dialog from popping up right after I login?
I installed F14 and I have been having some issues with the usage of the ram memory. Here is the situation: while working with firefox, amsn, and VLC, suddenly the system stop responding, I just can manage to check system monitor and the ram is at 89% (of 1GB) and the swap at 50% (of 1.4GB). I can do nothing then I just switch off the machine. After that using the same applications everything is fine. I was using F12.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI run version 10.04 GNOME. My problem is (after substantial searching) that I need to have both users ('juliusz' and 'sarah') running Thunderbird but with the same profile (settings, email, accounts etc. preferably of 'juliusz'). The only results on the internet are share Thunderbird between Windows and Ubuntu.
I have two users juliusz and sarah. I need either of them to have the same profile, always in synch whenever they logon to own account. When I tried to edit sarah's /home/sarah/.mozilla-thunderbird/profile.ini by inserting: Path=/home/juliusz/.mozilla-thunderbird/xxxxxxx.default after i run Thunderbird for 'sarah' I get message: "Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Thunderbird process, or restart your system." I checked with "ps aux" there is no Thunderbird running in sarah's session. There is no Thunderbird running in juliusz's session when I reloged to juliusz.
I've experienced the fairly annoying firefox error where it refuses to start the GUI. If there were no active firefox processes, nothing happened when I started it, but it did "start", meaning that I got the "firefox is already running" when I tried again. I found a fix to this, which was to delete some or all files in the ~/.mozilla/firefox directory. I now have 2 different problems. Number one is that the problem keeps reoccurring and I'd like to know what's causing it. The second problem is that even when I've "fixed" the issue, I still can't run firefox from scripts or click links. I get the "firefox is already running" error instead of a new tab or window.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have installed ubuntu 10.4 using virtual box (a tool similar to vmware). The problem is I m very familiar to firefox's window counterpart as the update is very simple.

I'm running Fedora 14 and I've just updated from Firefox 3.6.15 to Firefox 4 (rpm from remi repo). Overall, it's faster, sleek and running great on KDE . However, I've detected a minor issue. In order to run Firefox with a plugin installation free from nspluginwrapper (which seems to break partially when there is a major flash update), I switched from Firefox 3.6.15 64 bit to 32 bit and got the 32 bit versions of all the plugins. All was running mostly fine. When I upgraded to Firefox 4 32 bit, the two versions (32 and 64 bit) of xulrunner2 got installed somehow simultaneously. With the previous version, that didn't pose a problem. However, seeing as Firefox 4 is launched by xulrunner2, the 64 bit version takes precedence over the 32 bit one and consequently Firefox 4 32 bit is run as 64 bit app (?!) and no 32 bit plugins are loaded. By removing the 64 bit xulrunner2, everything is running as intended. Nevertheless, in the future, if xulrunner2 is used to run other XUL-based apps, as long as the 64 bit one is installed, it'll take precedence (in a 64 bit environment), which is fine, and anyone facing my situation will need to have a way to have both versions installed at the same time and specify that the 32 bit version should be used by firefox.

Currently I'm debugging the whole thing, and I have a strange error that I can't quite explain.Sometimes when my girlfriend logs in, she gets some strange "Firefox is already running" error. The strange thing here is: ps aux | grep firefox returns absolutely no Firefox process. The only "solution" to convince Firefox to start again is to wipe her ~/.mozilla directory, but by doing this, she loses all her bookmarks and settings.

View 5 Replies View RelatedAll day today, my laptop has been absurdly hot.The core temperatures were exceeding 70.0C even though it was on a cooling pad and I had disabled wireless, lowered the screen brightness, and put the CPU on Powersave. (For comparison, the temp usually stays at 45.0C if I do all this)
Finally, I decided to check htop, and I found IcedTea Plugin at the top with 99% CPU usage. This is used to run embedded Java applets (Java, not Javascript). Curiously, no Java applets were running at that time.Now skip ahead an hour to when I finally discover that the IcedTea Plugin was left over from earlier because it didn't stop running when it was supposed to. Looking online, I see several complaints about Java being very taxing on the CPU in Ubuntu, but I don't see anything about Java applets continuing to run after they're gone.
Can anyone who has Java installed confirm that this happens on their system?
1. Open htop. Search for "icedtea" to make sure it isn't already running. Then click on "CPU%" to sort the list.
2. Open this page in Firefox: www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml
3. Check htop. Is IcedTea climbing to the top? (if you have Java, it likely will, because this is a common issue)
4. Navigate off of the Java.com page by closing the tab or clicking Back.
5. Here's what I want to know. Check htop again. Is IcedTea still there?
6. Restart Firefox to get rid of IcedTea.
How can I find out which version of Firefox my Ubuntu 10.04 is running?
